Many properties. With what money? That’s the point. He inherited his parents’ lands. Lands that supposedly belonged to Ramiro as well. But according to this will, Charles pointed to a document. The parents left everything to Gonzalo. Dolores examined the will. Something didn’t add up. Ramiro’s parents died 6 months before the crime. And this will appeared after the conviction. Exactly. And the lawyer who validated it was Aurelio Sánchez. Before becoming a prosecutor, he worked as a private lawyer. This was one of his last cases before entering the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Dolores felt that the pieces were beginning to fall into place. Then Aurelio validated a suspicious will that benefited Gonzalo. He then became a prosecutor and led the case against Ramiro. And now both are partners in real estate businesses. There is more, Carlos said, lowering his voice. Sara Fuentes worked as an accountant before she got married. Five years ago, weeks before he died, he requested copies of several legal documents from the Fuentes family, including the original will of his in-laws. The original will, different from the one that Aurelio validated.
In the original, the lands were divided between the two brothers. Dolores understood everything. Sara found out that the will was false, she was going to report it and someone silenced her before she could do it. That night Carmela called Dolores with a trembling voice. It has to come, it’s about Salome. There’s something you need to see. Dolores arrived home an hour later. Carmela was waiting for her in her office with a serious expression. “The girl has nightmares every night,” Carmela said. “But there’s something I didn’t tell him before, something I was afraid to mention.” What is it?
Shout a name. Every night the same name. But it’s not his father’s or his mother’s, it’s another name. Which one? Martín. Martin shouts, “Help me again and again. Dolores frowned. That name did not appear in any of Inosinot’s documents. Case. Who is Martín? I didn’t know until I reviewed the Fuentes family’s employment records. Martín Reyes was the gardener. He worked for them for 3 years and disappeared a week after Sara died.
No one looked for him, no one asked about him. He disappeared without a trace. His mother lives in a small town 4 hours from here. She filed a missing person report, but the police never investigated. The case was filed. Dolores felt a chill, a potential witness disappearing right after the crime. A name that a traumatized girl screams in her nightmares. This was bigger than I imagined. I need the address of Martín’s mother,” said Dolores. “I already have it.” Carmela handed him a piece of paper.
“But be careful, ma’am. Whoever made that man disappear can make you disappear too.” Dolores put the paper in her pocket. “At my age, Carmela, I’m no longer afraid of disappearing. I am afraid of disappearing without having done justice. 5 years earlier, two weeks before the tragedy, Gonzalo Fuentes’ office was on the tenth floor of a glass building in the financial center. Sara entered unannounced with a manila folder in her hands and fire in her eyes.
